Matthews will get 12.5, Marner 10 million imo.

I love how Leaf players are overrated and suck until contract time comes. LOL
Matthews will get a comparable to McJesus - percentage wise - he'll get at least 13, if not more if the cap rises

Marner, yeah 10 sounds right

$47 mill on 5 forwards, leaves them with 36 if the cap goes up to, say 83 next year, or about 2 mil per player to round off their roster with only 2 proven NHL dmen signed.

This is where Marleau's contract sucks ass and why they should have either traded Nylander for some d-help or not signed Tavares and used that money towards a defenceman or two.

Edit - going to be interesting to see how Laine and Matthews contract situations work out - are they each going to wait for the other to sign?

Jets are just as fucked up - if not more.
Come on, that's a fantastic signing. He's playing great. There was no D available to sign for free.

Matthews/Tavares/Kadri on the ice every second in a 7 game series. It will be very tough to beat.

That is great fire power, yes - but WPG, NAS, TB, WASH and SJ are going to be tough, tough outs...

All those teams have something the leaves don't - elite defencemen who can shut down Matthews/Tavares and Kadri in a 7 game series.

Sure, they'll probably be able to roll over a team like BOS, BUF, CBJ, and also PIT (maybe) but I do not believe they can get past the other 5 listed above.

And don't forget about that cult in Minny

I keep telling you it's because Mr Andersen gets hot at the wrong time of the year.

You're dead wrong about that, show me your players and numbers.

(and don't forget that's 23 players)

Matthews 12.0
Tavares 11.0
Marner 9.5

Nylander 6.96
Marleau 6.25
Kadri 4.5

Kapanen 4.0
Hyman 2.25
Brown 2.1

Gauthier 1.0
Johnsson 1.0
Grundstrom .925
XXXXX 0.75


Rielly 5.0
Zaitsev 4.5

Ozzy 1.0
Dermott 0.86

Sandin .925
Liljegren .895

Holl 0.68



Andersen 5.0
Sparks 1.0

Kessel 1.2


Total 83.3

And no, Marner is not getting 12 or 13 million. The highest paid winger is Kane with 10.5 million.

And that's with no one traded. I don't mind seeing Brown gone to save 1.5 million approx.(Very easy trade).

Predators don't have the forwards to ever win the cup. You need to be stacked down the middle.

That's only 22 players and you're over $83M... gonna hafta be at least a million under the cap next year for various reasons.

(injuries, Horton's LTIR, etc)

You yourself said yesterday that Matthews will get $12.5M, now you say $12M (I've been saying $14M for 2 years now).

And you said yourself Marner will get $10M, now you say $9.5M.

That dee is pathetic! :lol:

A #2, #5, #5, #6 and two kids who will absolutely NOT be NHLers next year (and perhaps never for all anyone knows).

Also there's a fair chance the cap will be $81.1M next season...

You're obsessed with the Predators...

Kadri doesn't scare anyone and there are no decent centres beyond him.
